TheChurchNews.com Conference Talk Summaries PDF “For those who “feel small” in the Lord’s work, “I invite you to ask prayerfully how the Lord sees you. He knows you personally, He conferred the priesthood upon you.” He loves and trusts His priesthood holders to bless people He loves in His name.” — Henry B. Eyring
Today we’re looking at one of the last things Mr. Eyring said in his talk at this past General Conference. In the next few days we’ll address the ungodly belief that mankind holds the priesthood (yikes!). As a reminder, Mr. Eyring said – ‘I invite you to ask prayerfully how the Lord sees you’.
No matter who you are, male or female, black, white, or brown… the Lord sees you as someone in need of redemption and loves you so much that He sent His Son to die in your stead and pay the price for your sin – John 3:16.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
The Lord already knows man is a sinful creature and can’t redeem himself. The Bible tells us there is no one who’s righteous – Romans 3:10. Our works are as filthy rags – Isaiah 64:6. For a great step-by-step explanation of this see our post, Romans Road.
All the ugly aside, none of it compares to how much Jesus loves you beloved. There’s absolutely nothing you could’ve done to ever change His mind about that. If you choose not to believe it, He would die for you anyway.
If you’re a Christian, please, remind the Mormon you know how much Jesus loves them! If you’re LDS, we pray you’ll compare what Mr. Eyring said to what God says in His word. You can’t work for your salvation. You can’t hold a priesthood Jesus hasn’t given away.
Moreover, you can never be a god. That position has already been taken Isaiah 43:10-11.
